What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: Recognizing the critical role of culturally competent and inclusive care in healthcare, this study aims to identify the factors influencing healthcare professionals' attitudes toward lesbian, gay and bisexual individuals and to assess the impact of myths and prejudices on these attitudes. Method: This descriptive study was conducted with 268 healthcare professionals. Data were collected with Sociodemographic Data Collection Form, and Sexual Orientation Myths Scale (SOMS). Multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify predictors of SOMS toward lesbian, gay and bisexual individuals among healthcare professionals. Results: The total mean score of the SOMS was 50.07 Conclusion: This study shows that education, training programs, and social media engagement help reduce healthcare professionals' myths and prejudices toward lesbian, gay and bisexual individuals, while religious beliefs and misconceptions contribute to biases. Integrating sexual orientation health education into training curricula is essential for fostering inclusivity.
